Not surprisingly, prior to its release, HollywoodLife posted a bogus article on its website about how the singer’s “arch enemy” was “ready and waiting” for Swift’s latest single, the second from her upcoming album Reputation, to be unveiled.

According to the perpetually disproven outlet, Kardashian is refusing to let Swift “bully” the rapper with another diss track, and as a result, “the reality star is on guard.”

A so-called “source” is then quoted as saying, “Kim loves her man dearly and she refuses to let Taylor bully him or their family. He has slowed down a little and is not the same old Kanye that was always ready to fight on a moment’s notice.”

In bizarrely unnatural language, the bad blog’s questionable “insider” goes on to allege, “Kim is feeling fine, alert and she’s watching Taylor like a mama bear protecting her cubs. Kim will be listening closely as Taylor continues to release new music.” Concludes the website’s most assuredly fake tipster, “Kim and Kanye were willing to let the first song slide, but if Taylor wants to pick another fight, Kim is ready for it.”

Let Gossip Cop explain what’s going on here. In the hours before “Gorgeous” was released, the aptly nicknamed HollywoodLies conveniently decided to fabricate a Swift-related report, resulting in heightened online traffic and clicks. It goes without saying that the story is 100 percent made-up, but given the website’s poor track record, we still investigated into the claim, and a rep for Kardashian confirmed our suspicions. “This is false,” we were told.

Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time Gossip Cop has busted the untrustworthy site for manufacturing a bogus report about Swift and West’s alleged diss tracks. In August, shortly before “Look What You Made Me Do” was released, HollywoodLife wrongly claimed that West was prepared to record a “diss track” against Swift if she slams him or Kardashian on her new album.

As we’ve noted before, the online outlet is purposely peddling fake news stories to capitalize on the interest in Swift’s new music. It’s all lies.

Beyoncé presented Colin Kaepernick with Sports Illustrated's Muhammad Ali Legacy Award on December 5, and she took a minute backstage to honor the People's Champ in her own way with a quick nod to The Greatest.
